Driving with Dale, 2020

This short screenplay explores the past and future of Dale the Taxi Driver, who was a major character in our movie "Nothing in Durham." Dale is a taxi driver who doesn't drive, and she picks up her reluctant ex-girlfriend after work and takes her on a ride to a specific location to wait for something. Unfortunately, they don't know what they are waiting for.

The "Driving with Dale" screenplay was an official selection of the Austin Revolution Film Festival 2020 and was nominated for Best Comedy Short Screenplay.

Nothing in Durham, 2018

A dysfunctional family of French goth musicians tries to reunite, but not everyone wants them to get back together again. The screenplay for this absurd comedy won recognition in three 2018 competitions, and we filmed the first part of the story in 2019.
